No package.xml #17

Closed aleeper closed 10 years ago

Is this package supposed to have a package.xml? It seems it was removed at tag 0.2.4, though groovy claims to be at version 0.2.4 yet it has a package.xml.

Anyway, we are building ROS from source and are currently patching this package; should we make a pull request? (Or, are we doing it wrong? :)

The upstream has intentionally no package.xml file. This package is not a catkin package but a plain cmake package.

The package.xml is added in the gbp repository as part of the release process (see https://github.com/ros-gbp/console_bridge-release/blob/master/indigo/package.xml). If you want to build the package in a catkin workspace you should not clone the upstream repo but the latest release tag from the gbp repository. You can use rosinstall_generator to get the "right" information easily.
